# Sohail Khan's Wake-Up Call: "No Excuse to Skip Helmets" – A Star's Apology That Could Save Lives Imagine cruising through Bandra on your bike, wind in your hair, only to go viral for all the wrong reasons. That's exactly what happened to **Sohail Khan**, and his honest response is a powerful reminder for every rider out there.[1][2] The *Dabangg 3* actor recently faced backlash after a video surfaced showing him riding without a helmet. Instead of brushing it off, Sohail took to Instagram with a candid apology and a strong message: "Better to be safe than sorry." He admitted his personal struggle with claustrophobia sometimes tempts him to skip the helmet, but stressed there's **no excuse** – safety comes first. Sharing a photo of himself on a bike, he urged all riders to gear up every time, turning a personal slip-up into a public service announcement on road safety.[1][2] This isn't just celebrity drama; it's a real-world nudge amid rising accidents. Echoing broader campaigns like Kolkata Police's advice to "remove helmet only after reaching destination" and Udaipur's strict helmet enforcement during Road Safety Week, Sohail's plea aligns with expert calls for unwavering compliance.[3][4] Whether you're dodging traffic in Mumbai or cruising highways elsewhere, one helmet could be the difference between a fun ride and a tragedy.
